Vertical bearing performance of inclined high-pressure rotary spray pile.

Inclined piles are increasingly adopted in the foundation design of large-scale transmission line towers. Nine inclined pile tests were conducted in red clay soil to investigate the load-bearing and deformation behavior and the load transfer mechanism of inclined piles under vertical loading. The ef...

description Inclined piles are increasingly adopted in the foundation design of large-scale transmission line towers. Nine inclined pile tests were conducted in red clay soil to investigate the load-bearing and deformation behavior and the load transfer mechanism of inclined piles under vertical loading. The effects of pile inclination and length-to-diameter ratio on axial force, bending moment, shear force, and lateral friction force were analyzed. The test results indicate that: (1) As the inclination angle increases, the settlement of the inclined pile increases under vertical loading. (2) The axial force in the inclined pile is smaller compared to that of the corresponding vertical pile with the same material and dimensions. (3) Bending moment and shear force are observed in the upper section of the inclined pile, with the maximum bending moment influenced by both the pile's inclination angle and length-to-diameter ratio. (4) In the upper section of the pile, the average soil-side frictional resistance of inclined piles is higher than that of vertical piles. The maximum resistance occurs in the section from the top of the pile to a relative depth (Z/L) of approximately 0.14.
